Check-in

Within 23 hours before departure you can check-in online via Lufthansa website or Lufthansa App: select your seat and print out your online boarding pass or have it sent to your mobile phone. Your mobile boarding pass replaces a printed boarding pass. It can be scanned directly from your iPhone or Android Phone at the Bag Drop desk, security, boarding gates and presented as you board the aircraft.

In case you experience some issues from your tablet or smartphone, we kindly suggest you to use Lufthansa app.

Please understand that due to the current situation, mobile boarding passes are not available on every flight and you will only receive your physical boarding pass after your Covid-19 related documents have been checked at the counter.

Sure. You can save time if you check in online, however you can also check-in at the airport free of charge at the self-service check-in or at our desks, within the check-in deadlines.

The purpose of check-in deadlines is to guarantee that flights depart on time.
You must hold your boarding pass within the following deadlines, even if you have already checked-in online or by email / SMS, you must have checked-in your baggage:

Indicated check-in times and deadlines remain unchanged even when a flight delay has been announced.

Passengers are required to be at the boarding gate within the time indicated on the boarding pass.
If you do not show at boarding gates in time, you will not be permitted to board the aircraft and will not be entitled to any reimbursement or rebooking, unless otherwise foreseen under the fare rules of your ticket.

Check-in the day before departure (or late-night check-in) is available at certain stations.
To check the relevant rules and at which airports late-night check-in is available, please refer to Lufthansa website.

Please note that, unfortunately, late-night check-in could be not available for some destination/airline companies.
